FAQ: Tax Preparation Services
Who needs to file a tax return in France?
Every person residing in France for tax purposes, whether in Fort-de-France or elsewhere, is obliged to report their earnings to the tax authorities. This includes salaried workers, self-employed professionals, entrepreneurs, and retirees. Even if a taxpayer does not earn taxable income, filing a declaration may still be necessary to benefit from fiscal advantages or to stay compliant in case of later tax adjustments.
Non-French citizens living in France must also declare their income if they have their primary residence in France or engage in professional activities within the country. Similarly, property owners in France, regardless of their residence status, are subject to declaration obligations for any income generated from rentals.
What are the deadlines and penalties for late filing?
Each year, the French tax administration sets specific filing dates for annual tax declarations, generally falling between mid-May and early June, depending on the place of residence and submission channel (by post or electronically).

As registered tax advisors, we have access to specialized tax software that allows us to prepare your tax return as early as January 1st. To guarantee precision, improve your fiscal position, and avoid last-minute stress, we advise you to reach out as early as possible.
Failure to meet the official deadlines may result in penalties, making early preparation even more important.
A missed deadline leads to an additional fine: a 10% increase applies if no official reminder is issued, which can rise to 40% if the fiscal administration officially issues a notice. Penalties for late payment of 0.20% per month is also added to the amount due. If the omission is deemed intentional or dishonest, severe sanctions may be imposed.
How can I legally reduce my income tax?
There are several compliant approaches to minimize taxation in France. Real estate investment is an effective way to optimize taxation, particularly through the furnished rental scheme for non-professionals, which provides attractive tax benefits.
Other fiscal tools include the Malraux program, which provides strong incentives for the restoration of classified structures; the déficit foncier mechanism, which helps reduce taxable income through renovation deductions; and the Monuments Historiques scheme, offering notable benefits for the conservation of protected properties.
A life insurance policy is another advantageous option: after a holding period of 8 years, it enjoys lower taxation, making it an great strategy for wealth transfer and fiscal planning.
SME investment or fiscally supported funds like FIP and FCPI can also provide a tax reduction of up to 25% of the invested amount, depending on compliance with criteria.
There are many more possibilities! Our advisors are here to recommend the best fiscal strategies for greater efficiency.
How to file your tax return online?
The electronic tax submission process is the recommended approach of the French tax authorities, available via the official government website impots.gouv.fr.
However, as accredited professionals, we simplify the process for our clients. Instead of logging into their personal tax account, they simply complete a custom form on our website.
Once the information is submitted, we handle the entire declaration process and transmit it securely to the tax authorities via EDI (Electronic Data Interchange), providing precision, compliance, and speed—without any need for clients to access impots.gouv.fr.
After submission, the tax administration calculates the final tax due or any overpayment.
